Dazzling Night Colors and Reflections at Cuyahoga River


Took one step outside and was mesmerized by the colorful dancing light reflections at night. Such clear orange and green-blue hues being reflected in the waters!

Pastel Blur Effect: Ethereal Sky and Water Aesthetic

Pier 7 Walkway Daytime Part III: Mixing soft colors, textures, and landscape imagery all together always creates a dreamy, otherworldly work of art. 

There's so many stunning graphic designs, anime artwork, and cartoon creations out there and what's always fascinating is the creator's ability to develop such unique fantasies and futuristic worlds. 

I was inspired by a recent piece's use of blurred pastel colors and decided to manipulate one of my cityscape photos to create my own version of it. I added in blotches of pastel hues across the sky, unsaturated the photo, and added other elements to create a delicate yet mysterious and unreal aesthetic.

Yokohama's Waterfront and Cityscape Fantasy at Night


Cosmoworld Ferris Wheel: One of my favorite ferris wheels ever - I spent so much time 69 floors above just staring at the dazzling, bright, ever-changing colors and lights, trying to soak it all in. 

At the Yokohama Landmark Tower, you can see all of the beauty around the Minato Mirai waterfront, decked out with an amusement park, cool-shaped buildings (hotels!), stadiums, freeways, and other spectacular skyscrapers shining brightly at night.

City Treasure: Palm Tree Vibes on One Street


Such a beautiful treasure that I recently discovered. This is now one of my favorite places to go for a quick hike and to get picturesque views of the city (+ palm trees). 

Sitting right off of Buena Vista Park, this steep hill offers a glimpse at some of the most spectacular houses and SoCal-like palm trees on the block.
